Texas in all its varieties (see other thread) are the next areas I'll be requesting images for.
(The next states to be requested will be New Mexico and a mix Oklahoma/Kansas.)
We are now requesting images of material from the great states of TEXAS for this thread. For this thread we're looking for material that originated in the ranchlands around Marfa, Alpine, and Big Bend Park. This includes Needle Peak material, Woodward Ranch, Anderson Ranch, Henderson Ranch, Bishop Ranch - essentially the area between the Rio Grande/Big Bend Region and Highway 90. The images can be of rough, polished specimens, cabs, or tumbled stones. If you have any that you're willing to share, please post with a brief note on the region and its common name (if it has one.) Credit for the photo will be assigned to your name or online title (or not at all if that's your choice.)
Any material that fits under the heading agate/jasper/chert is welcome to be posted here, even if it is from lesser known locations.
There are many places that would be readily known to people outside the state. We'd love to see samples of these. If in doubt, POST!

Well, let's see what I can post here. I don't think I can match some of this stuff, but... 1st - what I think I know: Woodward Ranch Peanut Agate? Nodules from Bishop ranch or alpine (Mel will know): Thanks for watching and checking up on me! Lowell

Moving to an easier location to access.
I am updating the Agate Index. If you have photos to add, please do so!
If you just want to give me permission to poach your photos, ldrop me a PM.
